Marquis 38 10

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

The appliance will not function without being connected to a proper venting system.

This appliance may use 4” and 7” gas flex vents with DV-38 listed vent components, or Simpson Duravent

4 x 6-5/8 direct vent systems with Simpson Dura-vent Adaptor (SDA-3). 7” dia. rigid vent may directly

replace 7” dia. flex vent in all applications.

For best venting performance using gas flex vent, here are some general venting rules that we recommend:

1. Use only 4”and 7” diameter 2-ply certified gas flex vent in a co-axial configuration.

2. Maintain a minimum clearance of 1” to the sides and bottom and 2” to the top outside surface of the

vent pipe and combustible material.

3. Observe any local code restrictions, if any, regarding the installation of this type of gas appliance.

4. Observe the venting chart given in this manual.

5. Use a vent spacer between the inside and outside flex vents at every 3 ft intervals.

6. Never slope horizontal running vents downwards.

7. VERY IMPORTANT: Maintain at least an upward slope of 1” for every 1 ft of horizontal run on

the rear vented models.

8. Terminate the vent with a vent termination supplied by Archgard Industries Ltd.

9. Support horizontal running vents every 3 ft to prevent it from sagging.

10. Wall terminal must be installed a minimum of 12” above grade measured from bottom of terminal.

1. See “ALLOWABLE TERMINATION LOCATIONS” diagram (page 13) to establish a suitable vent

termination location.

2. In heavy snowfall areas make sure vent termination is located where it can not be blocked by snow

from snow removal equipment.

3. Locate vent termination away from plants, bushes or any other object on or near the vent termination

that will interfere or obstruct the air flow around it.

4. DO NOT recess vent termination into walls, sidings or planters.

5. Vent terminations located below 7ft from grade level or anywhere it can be a burn hazard to the

public, such as patios and balconies, must be protected with an Archgard approved termination cage.

6. Always ensure bottom of Vent Terminal is a minimum of 12” above grade.
